jason doesnt come out in cold weather

i would probly try to stay away from a dealer they will just bend you over and have their way with you

but jason would be the man to talk to he knows rx7's inside and out send him a pm or a email or something he'll get ahold of you

I wouldn't let the dealer do much more than a compression test, if they even happen to have the mazda tester.

I havnt checked the compression yet. It sounds like I have some bad coolant seals. Possibly Turbo seals. Im waiting til it gets warmer out before I check the compression.

What kind of RX7 you got?
